(1) My oven is clean! I have lived in my apartment for a year and a half. Aside from normal cooking mishaps, like a french fry falling off a pan only to burn and smolder on the oven's bottom, there have been much messier culinary adventures, like the Thanksgiving Turkey, a roasted chicken, and melted butter on a cookie sheet with no edges. The net effect was a very dirty oven. I tried to clean it, but was unable to make any progress (probably due to my eczema break out that prevented me from exposing my hands to anything but moisturizer). Then Chris tried to clean it and almost killed himself - there was a spark that caused the entire apartment to lose power and required the assistance of our maintenance man Joe to restore. Although the oven tried to kill my husband, my husband refused to let the oven win, and now I have a clean oven!
(2) I am a law school cover girl. I recently picked up a Texas Tech School of Law catalog for a friend. After looking at the student pictures on the cover for a minute or two, I realized that I had failed to notice that I was in one of the pictures. It was one of those situations where your grandma would say, "Had that been a snake, it would have bit you."
(3) Valentines Day. Chris and I are truly in sync with each other. Chris decided to forego the traditional chocolates and instead bought me a delicious cheese ball and some fancy crackers. Being that cheese is not only my favorite food, but also the greatest food on earth, this was the perfect way to start Valentines Day. Then we exchanged gifts. I thought I would really surprise him with the gift certificate for a hour and a half massage that I had purchased, but I was more surprised to find that he had bought a gift certificate for a couple's massage for me.
